Most workers aren’t saving enough, and they know it. When surveyed, only about 30% thought their retirement was on track in 2025.

The limit for contributions per year in 2026 is $24,500 for most, but as much as $35,750 for older workers. Obviously the more you earn, the easier it is to max out contributions. But striving to hit the max as early and as often as you can will have a huge payoff due to compounding interest.

Amanda DeCesar, CFP and cofounder of Tara Wealth gives great advice when she suggests focusing on cash flow, maintaining an emergency fund and enrolling in automatic contribution. “Small adjustments—redirecting a raise, bonus, or even trimming recurring expenses—add up over time,” she said in a recent article for Investopedia.

When people try to explain what caused inflation after COVID, they usually reach for one villain: stimulus checks. Supply chains. The Fed.

Looking back, four different forces hit at nearly the same time: supply chains breaking down (used vehicle prices alone jumped over 40% at the peak), demand shifting hard toward goods, three rounds of stimulus checks alongside a Federal Reserve balance sheet that grew from roughly $4 trillion to nearly $9 trillion, and a labor market that shrank just as wages rose in ways that proved hard to reverse.

The combination, more than any one piece of it, is what made this period so hard to predict and so hard to unwind.

It's part of why we tend to be skeptical of any single explanation for where inflation goes next.

Beginnings are delicate times, and that goes for retirement as well.

Rough market patches that fall early in retirement years can have an outsized effect on your long-term financial health. Help manage the repercussions with a custom plan Morgia can create with you.

We’ll discuss adjusting your spending rate, establishing appropriate cash flow paths, evaluating tax impacts, and choosing the year to start drawing on Social Security benefits that meets your needs.

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change."

Albert Einstein's words speak to a principle central to how we think about planning at Morgia: discipline doesn't mean holding rigidly to a plan no matter what. It means staying committed to your long-term goals while being willing to adjust the mix of investments supporting them as conditions like inflation, interest rates, or opportunity across sectors change.

Half the work is building the plan. The other half is knowing when it's time to revisit it.

For teachers, retirement planning often comes with a few unique considerations.

Two gaps are worth watching closely: the period between when you retire and when you become eligible for Social Security, and the gap that can form when a pension lacks cost-of-living adjustments while everyday expenses continue to rise.

Without planning for both, some retirees find their savings spent down earlier than expected, requiring changes to their spending in later years.

When should you start collecting Social Security?

The answer often depends on more than just your age. Life expectancy, family health history, and whether you're planning as a couple can all shape the right strategy. Claiming earlier, at full retirement age, or as late as 70 can lead to a different lifetime total for some retirees and the breakeven depends on your situation and life expectancy.

For couples, coordinating both spouses' claiming decisions may be especially valuable. In many cases, the longer you wait to claim, the larger your monthly benefit: which can matter a great deal when one or both spouses have a longer life expectancy.

Buying into a sector everyone else has given up on takes more than a hunch.

Before we commit client capital to a beaten-down sector, three things have to line up:

1. The price has to be genuinely cheap.
2. There has to be a real structural reason to expect supply to tighten.
3. The price has to start moving first.

That last one is the hardest to sit with. Waiting for confirmation can mean missing the very first move off the bottom.

But as Michael Morgia puts it in our Semi-Annual Update, being early is often indistinguishable from being wrong.

Long-term care costs, longer life expectancy, Social Security insolvency: there are a number of issues that are conspiring to make running out of money in retirement a growing fear.

For some, according to a survey conducted by Allianz, this is a fear worse than death.

Planning for long‑term care, boosting retirement savings, and delaying benefits are some great steps to keep that fear at bay. Let’s discuss your options.

Here's a gut-check Mike Morgia uses when thinking about tangible versus paper assets: would it hurt if you dropped it on your foot?

Treasury bonds wouldn't hurt at all: fitting, since bonds haven't had a strong decade. Gold would send you to the orthopedist, but with a smile, given its performance. A bulldozer would take the foot entirely, though the earthmoving stocks behind it have done very well.

It's a playful way to make a real point: tangible and paper assets don't always move together, and how much of each you hold is a decision that depends on your own goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
